• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I commend Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for bringing into effect what this country should have done a long time ago to assist our compatriots who suffer from disabilities, particularly hearing disabilities, to also enjoy the benefits and fruits of modern science and technology; and to enable them to grow like any other Kenyan. view
• 25 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there has been some progress. This is because if you watch the television these days, there is always some sign language interpreter during news time and in many other programmes.

People are busy barricading their buildings and putting all manner of stairs and steps to the extent that persons on wheel chairs and those with other various forms of disabilities cannot get access.
